Hi,
I've just replaced my repo pcb version on Debian Squeeze with the last
release; compiling and installing manually pcb the installation folder
is changed (from /usr share/.. to /usr/local/share/.. ) and now, when
I launch gsch2pcb to generate netlist and layout, I obtain an error
message because footprints library folder are not found.
In the gsch2pcb output I read:

gsch2pcb backend configuration:

   ----------------------------------------
   Variables which may be changed in gafrc:
   ----------------------------------------
   gsch2pcb:pcb-m4-command:    /usr/bin/m4
   gsch2pcb:pcb-m4-dir:        /usr/share/pcb/m4
   gsch2pcb:pcb-m4-confdir:    /etc/pcb
   gsch2pcb:pcb-m4-path:       /usr/share/pcb/m4  /etc/pcb  $HOME/.pcb  .
   gsch2pcb:m4-command-line:   /usr/bin/m4 -d  -I/usr/share/pcb/m4
-I/etc/pcb -I$HOME/.pcb -I. /usr/share/pcb/m4/common.m4 - >>
layout_prova.pcb

   ---------------------------------------------------
   Variables which may be changed in the project file:
   ---------------------------------------------------
   gsch2pcb:use-m4:            yes


so I think I've just to modify the user gafrc file, but I have been
not able to find a guide to do this!
The only one reference I found is this
(http://www.easy-asic.de/downloads/HOWTO_design_environment.pdf) witch
I've already used in the past to set a custom component-library
directory, but no more informations are present and also reading the
predefined system-gafrc file I've not found useful information to edit
variables listed in gsch2pcb output...
Can anyone help me to edit this file?
Thank you very much
